History shows a lot of resistance to controversial scientific discoveries.
Because his findings supported Copernican science and conflicted with Aristotelian science, Galileo was convicted of suspicion of heresy and sentenced to a lifetime house arrest.
Today the state has so much power under the guise of National Security, there is very little protection from the whims of those in charge of threat assessment and response.
Today the Internet makes easy targets of those who, without the crutch of anonymity, publicly express controversial research.
When mild-mannered chemist Mark Basile got involved in researching nano-thermite, he, like other researchers, was not prepared for the personal cost.
If the mainstream media was not such a slave to job security and greed, they would have smitten questions like nano-thermite years ago.
How hard do you believe it would be for CBS to have obtained 9/11 WTC Ground Zero dust for a 60 MINUTES segment.
The lab costs would be a minor entry in the budget.
If the nano-thermite findings by Dr.Harrit et al cannot be reproduced independently, than that finding loses its legitimacy.
One of the two big smoking guns of 9/11 could be laid to rest.
Thanks to growing organizations like AE911Truth, few people are unaware of the continuing controversy surrounding 9/11.
My point is, the ratings for such News stories would be expected to be quite good, read profitable.
Stories like nano-thermite and the high speed collapse of WTC7 remain ignored or are scripted using pre-determined, unproven conclusions.
Oddly, profit and fame-motivated TV News producers avoid quality investigations into 9/11 truth claims.
Most certainly chemist Mark Basile never sought the suffocating attention that comes from being in the public eye.
It should be no cause for wonder that sincere individuals like Mark Basile, now avoid additional publicity about their works-in-progress.
At the end of the day, I expect that Mark Basile will either finish what he started or bow under the pressure and return all the money to his supporters.
It certainly is not enough money to tempt him, or any other working professional into ruining their professional and personal reputations.
Wow, did Basile pay for that smoke job? Double check that expense summary, Truthers.
